Telstar, on the other hand, will aim to tighten up at the back after their loss to FC Groningen. They’ve shown they can score goals, particularly in their win against PSV, so they’ll be hoping to catch Utrecht on the break. However, their inconsistency might be their downfall against a more stable Utrecht side.Telstar, on the other hand, will aim to tighten up at the back after their loss to FC Groningen.
